Leslie Keller – Gym Teacher @ Grinnell Middle School
NOMINATED BY:
Marilyn Parry
MACI’S LETTER:
Mrs. Keller is so kind to all students. I have never heard her raise her voice a single time. She is very gentle and caring with students. When a student thinks they have a boo-boo, Mrs. Keller shows great concern and tells the student what to do to take care of that boo-boo. She teaches students new games and is concerned about their personal health. She teaches students of all abilities and includes special need students in all courses. She gives personal care and attention to each student to include them.

The Army says two Blackhawk helicopters near his Tennessee mansion were just on a Nashville training route, but now they’re checking into why they hovered there. Kid says nobody’s getting in trouble and called it pretty neat. Nothing says casual Tuesday like cannonballs, patriotism, and two black helicopters hovering near your house…

Riley Green is stacking side quests like a pro. He’s making his TV debut on Marshals in mid-April. And because sleep is for other people, he’s also reportedly opening a second Duck Blind bar in Gatlinburg. At this point Riley’s building a country music cinematic universe.

Thomas Rhett says one of his favorite parts of touring is trying wild new foods on the road, which sounds adventurous and expensive. Meanwhile Dylan Scott keeps it a little more backyard chaos at home, admitting he’ll wander into the kitchen at midnight and cook a full meal like it’s noon. His wife wakes up confused; he’s making dinner round two. That’s not a snack, that’s a second shift.
